#definetely add garlic

[magnoliamyrrh]

ohhhh!! found this in my drafts, finally publishing it. this is my personal ramen recipie which, not to brag, but came out better than.... plenty of restaurants ive been to. sorry no accurate measurements bc i dont live like that, ull have to go on vibes

uhh id recommended using some pretty fatty beef piece, and the best beef you can get your hands on taste-wise, bc it makes this soup. cut off most of the fat and skin and brown it in some oil (i usually use sunflower but u can use sesame or peanut). take it out.

cut the rest of the beef in small/thin strips. add soy sauce, b sugar, cumin, corn starch, white pepper, a it of oil (i think i used sesame?) let marinate

in same oil you browned the fat in, toast abt half of a small onion, small cut. when soft enough add a small cut carrot, frozen peas, frozen corn, mushrooms cut up - to taste but id advise against putting too many. cook for awhile for flavor. if u want u can put the beef fat and skin in there too ans keep it to boil too but ull have to dig it out or avoid it later

take the vegetables out of the oil, and add the marinated beef in. cook until crispy - you can also double fry it u want. take the beef out, put aside

put the vegetables back in pan - hopefully being able to keep the same oil for flavor if not too burned. add desired amount of water over. when boiling add asian black vinegar abt a tablespoon, a lot of soy saunce, oyster sauce like 2 spoons, 1 almost spoon of fish saunce, siracha, probably some dark sweet soy saunce too. a bit of brown sugar especially if u dont have sweet dark soy saunce. this is rly to taste

if you have some wontons you rly like (i have some tiny chicken cilnatro ones) you could toss them in there too until they boil. throw in some noodles if you want them - i use a brand of japanese noodles that actually have taste themselves so id reccomend something like that. if you like bok choy, toss it in there towards the end and boil it for a little bit - enough to cook, not enough to get mushy.

i like to assemble individual bowls. ill put the broth/vegetable/bok choy in there and over the top ill usually put, in sections, thinly cut up raddishes, thinly cut water chestnuts, maybe bamboo shoots, green onions, and ill make soft boiled eggs cuz i like mixing in the yolk/add whatever egg you like, that crunchy dried seaweed snack, and the beef slices 😌 this shit slaps so hard trust me on this

#favs #OH WAIT I FORGOT. AND GARLIC #definetely add garlic #I like to dice garlic toss it around in a bit of oil separately for fragrance and add it at the end #bc if u add it too early the taste goes away #also on top of siracha u can also add chinese chilly oil #be careful u dont end up w too much oil tho it happened to me once or twice
